      He once said in an interview (because his daughter went on American Idol) that he could "carry a tune, but I don't have a voice people want to hear". It struck a chord with me then because I can absolutely carry a tune, not tone deaf, have rhythm, but my voice is not a good singing voice. I'd be a great backup singer lmao

Better yet, keep it to your bathroom (we don't wanna see u singing in your car, too, and, we are exceedinly-grateful you would NEVER sing with the windows open, MyChild).

If you look just before Carrey stands up he goes to drink the contents of the mug, but Letterman offers him a handshake, which stops him. So it was Davey boys own fault.
      But yeah, it was funnier because it didn't break first time.

      I got it. It's a take-off on the old Memorex tape TV commercial from the 1970s that ended with the announcer saying, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" and a cut-away to a shot of a female singer singing a really high note and breaking a glass in the process.

      I wonder if Dave knew that would happen. I'm kind of curious how they planned that (if at all). I thought the mug could have been a prop but it still had water in it and took some effort to break. Pretty wild for TV.
